H-P TouchPad Tablet Review - Walt Mossberg - Personal Technology - AllThingsD

Interesting review of the HP tablet.

One thing to note is that this new tablet runs neither Android nor iOS thus is a third platform for tablets/phones.

Either this is going to make a great market for app designers, or create a lot of silos.  Or possibly push us toward yet another convergence, like PhoneGap
which attempts to be multi-platform via html5/css3/javascript.  This has the added advantage that your website can also be your app!  Sorta.
